As women, we face a unique set of factors that make us more susceptible to addiction and substance abuse and commonly suffer from co-occurring disorders as well. In my journey as a woman in recovery I had to overcome much more than substance abuse, I also suffered from an eating disorder, sexual abuse, depression, and anxiety. My hope is that sharing my experience with other women will help them to see that they are not alone and if I can overcome these things in my life they can too!
